As we were dressing to go out our little girl and boy Came in and asked if they could go this time We told them little girls and boys don't belong at parties And that they should be in bed asleep by nine The babysitter came in then and we kissed the kids goodbye And told them that we'd be home soon and told them not to cry Then we left for the party like we'd so often done Thinkin' only of ourselves and not our little ones The party started out wild and it grew wilder as the night wore on With drinking laughing teling dirty jokes nobody thinkin' of home Then the stranger feeling came over me and it chilled me to the bones And I told my wife that we'd better leave the party Cause I felt that we were needed at home As we rode along I got to thinking of how the kids that mornin' Had asked if we would take them to church the next day And how I'd put 'em off like I'd so often done By sayin' we'd probably get home too late Then my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of sirens As they cut through the still night air Then we turned down our street that's when we saw the fire The rest was like a nightmare We took their little bodies to church the next day Though we'd left the party early we still got home too lateTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
